Pappa Bear’s Pizza

Southeast Alaska


Arrive early at Papa Bear's: the place does a roaring takeaway trade, meaning you may end up waiting an hour or more for your pie. The place specializes in American-style pizza, whole or by the slice, along with subs and burger baskets. It's pretty basic – grab your own cutlery and sit down at a bench – but it hits the spot on a cold and rainy Alaskan evening.
